my favorite flower of all seasons!

(this wonderful picture was found from http://www.dennisflood.com/photos/wallpaper/1024/sunflower_1024.jpg)

"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. (Matthew 6:28-34)

i really like that picture above. it portrays the sunflower as one intricately and exquisitely designed in the Maker's mind and birthed forth through His very hands. i think if i have the time and resources to travel around the world just to peer into the face of every flower, i will be intensely bowled over by the beauty of the Lord in them.

Do you know that God is also your inventor and designer? If He could have spent painstaking efforts and time to create the sunflower, He did the same for you too, but uncountable times more! Psalm 139:14 in the Bible reveals that we were all fearfully and wonderfully made, and His works are ever wonderful. If each of us were a school project, we would be graded A+, A*, distinction, and the likes!

Do not avoid anymore the affectionate gaze of Love from the Father's eyes today. You are so beautiful that His eyes never want to lose sight of you. More than being His project, He wants us all to claim in faith the gift of Sonship, to be His rightful and righteous Sons and Daughters...to call Him Abba Father.

The Inventor knows your life's purpose. The Designer takes pride in you. And the Creator asks and almost pleads with you not to worry, cos' He knows exactly what you need. Such a rushing river of Love from the Father! The only thing you need to do? Seek His kingdom and His righteousness, and all things will be given to you! :)
